Canadian Cyclist of the Year Awards

Welcome to the 12th annual Canadian Cyclist of the Year Awards! Once again, it is time for our readers to cast their votes in three categories:

Canadian Cyclist of the Year - FemaleCanadian Cyclist of the Year - MaleBest Individual Performance

The voting is later in the year than usual, because we wanted to wait for the last major international event of the season that Canadians would be at - Track World Cup #3, where three Canadian medals were won.

The voting procedure reflects the fact that it can be difficult to select just one athlete to vote for. Instead, you will be able to rank your preferences, with the top rank receiving 5 points, the second receiving 4 points, etc. The athlete (and performance) receiving the highest average "grade" wins.

For this year, we have also made a change to the Best Performance voting. This year there were so many individual performances by Canadian Cyclists worthy of inclusion (15), that we have decided to present CC Awards to the top three performances, as selected by our readers.
